Ministers meet on a regular basis with police leaders to discuss a range of topics. Last year, I spoke to all 43 polices force in England & Wales about the demands they face.<\/p>

The Government is supporting the police to respond to changing demand with an over £460m increase in total investment in the police system this financial year, including an increase of around £280m in funding for Police & Crime Commissioners through council tax precept.The Cumbria PCC\u2019s direct resource funding is £102.9 million in 2018/19, an increase of £2.5 million from precept compared to 2017/18.<\/p>

Decisions about the allocation of police resources and deployment of officers are for Chief Constables and democratically accountable PCCs.
